I heard something but only in passing. Ironically though, Bloomberg had an article stating he was there to negotiate the replacement of the outed Iraqi PM, so it was clear he was there to exert influence. I also heard a former brigadier general speaking on this issue and former navy guy Dan Crenshaw state that Trump was in his right to do what he did. It’s only leftist armchair socialists who are griping, and a few never Trumpers including a few right here.

Thanks for the info. I haven’t seen it mentioned in any news story. I wonder why?

He was under UN travel sanctions and was not allowed to leave Iran.

And all this time I had the mistaken idea that it was U.S. forces under Trump and resistance groups led and supplied by the USA that largely dismantled the ISIS caliphate. But it turns out it was the martyr Soleimani who defeated them while aiding and advising the psychotic Assad regime and fighting alongside the Russians. I guess we should be mourning his death despite his direct role in killing and maiming hundreds of Americans and Muslims, too. I don’t think he’s quite the hero you make him out to be.

Well I just know that he was the man who saved Iraq from ISIS when they were behind the Baghdad doors. And the man who was with him was the leader of the mobilization group who helped him.
Trump tries to pretend that this was for the benefits of USA I am not American but I think he did this for the benefits of himself to please those zhionist fanatic groups to support him.
Here the public opinion is that USA made and supported ISIS and now killed the hero that stood against it. I do not want to exaggerate but it is enough that you see how many people respected him both in Iraq and Iran and elsewhere.
I am sorry to say that Trump ruined the least reputation which had remained for USA. I wish at least it was for the sake of his country but I do not know how it can be !
This is a wage of war.
